Dear,

I some questions about the PowerPC cache model.

How many caches are there?
How many caches are in multi-core systems? do you have a L1 cache per
cpu and one shared L2? or is there a victim L3 cache?

can you tell me something about the path through the cache?
for example I look up for data in L1, but this was a miss. Then i look
up in L2 this was also a miss. but the date will be in another L1
cache of another cpu. Is there a 1.5 or 2.5 hit?

can you help me please?
this is for my bachelorthesis

thanks a lot

felix
